Using inner join on hibernate returning token uknown

I'm having some trouble with hibernate. I'm trying to create a query to return the number of consults foreach medical ward, i just run the sql on pgAdmin and everything was well, but when i tried to create the same sql on hibernate, this has return some erros. Here the code.

SQL:

select a.cod_ala ,count(cod_consulta) as max from Consulta as c 
    inner join Medico as m on m.cod_medico = c.cod_medico
    inner join Ala as a on a.cod_ala = m.cod_ala
group by a.cod_ala  

Java:

public void getConsultasAla() {
    String sql = "select a.cod_ala, count(cod_consulta) as max from Consulta as c" 
    +" inner join Medico as m on m.cod_medico = c.cod_medico"           
    +" inner join Ala as a on a.cod_ala = m.cod_ala"
    +" group by a.cod_ala";



    Query query;
    System.out.println(sql);
    this.session = GeneralController.getSession();

    query = this.session.createQuery(sql);
    List list = query.list();
    int i = 0;
    while(list.iterator().hasNext()) {
        System.out.println(list.get(i++));
    }

}
